This book investigates the changes that affected vowel length during the development of Latin into the Romance languages and dialects. In Latin vowel length was contrastive (e.g. pila 'ball' vs. pila 'pile' like English bit vs. beat) but no modern Romance language has retained that same contrast. However many non-standard Romance dialects (as well as French up to the early 20th century) have developed novel vowel length contrasts which are investigated in detail here.
